Huh??

The Chargers signed ex-Raider and 11-year veteran C Jeremy Newberry to a one-year contract.  Understandably, worry as to whether Nick Hardwick will have fully recovered from foot surgery by the start of the season is on the team’s mind; but Cory Withrow did a mighty fine job filling in for Hardwick last season after the initial injury.  So, why another center?

Although, I have to admit Newberry is a smart man.  He said,  ”I didn’t really even entertain those ideas because I’d rather have retired than went to the East Coast and been away from my daughters … I’m not playing financially anymore.   I want to win a championship. I want to be in a good situation and that’s why (the Chargers are) the perfect fit for me. I really believe we can win a championship down here.”
